Will Take Charge Shuttling To Uruguay For Southern Hemisphere Season

Champion Will Take Charge will shuttle to Haras Phillipson in Uruguay for the 2020 Southern Hemisphere breeding season, the South American publication Turf Diario reports.

Will Take Charge, a 10-year-old son of Unbridled's Song, stands the Northern Hemisphere season at Three Chimneys in Midway, Ky., where he was most recently advertised for a fee of $15,000.

He is the sire of three crops of racing age, highlighted by Grade 1-placed Manny Wah, Grade 2-placed High Regard and Sweet Diane, and stakes winners Kim K, Great Sister Diane, and Cashcheckorcharge.

Will Take Charge is out of 2013 Broodmare of the Year Take Charge Lady, a multiple Grade 1-winning Dehere mare whose other runners of note include Grade 1 winner Take Charge Indy and winner Charming, who is herself the dal of champion Take Charge Brandi and Grade 1 winner Omaha Beach.

On his own accord, Will Take Charge won seven of 21 starts for earnings of $3,924,648. He earned the Eclipse Award for champion 3-year-old male in 2013 off a campaign that included scores in the Grade 1 Travers Stakes and Clark Handicap, the G2 Pennsylvania Derby and Rebel Stakes, and the non-graded Smarty Jones Stakes. He also finished second in that year's Breeders' Cup Classic.

Will Take Charge came back at four to win the G2 Oaklawn Handicap, and finish in the money in the G1 Santa Anita Handicap, Stephen Foster Handicap, Donn Handicap, and Whitney Stakes.

PR Special Fasig-Tipton Midlantic Sale: Boyd Browning On The Changing Auction Calendar

CLICK HERE TO READ THIS EDITION OF THE PR SPECIAL

Whether you're on the sales grounds or following along from home or the farm, the Paulick Report has reading material for the Fasig-Tipton Midlantic 2-Year-Olds In Training Sale with a jam-packed online-exclusive edition of the PR Special.

In this issue, Fasig-Tipton president Boyd Browning chats with bloodstock editor Joe Nevills about navigating a hectic spring of cancelling and rescheduling sales through the COVID-19 pandemic, how that affected the upcoming Midlantic sale, and how it guides his expectations for the remainder of the juvenile auction season and beyond in 2020.

The Stallion Spotlight focuses on champion Will Take Charge, with Tom Hamm of Three Chimneys discussing what crosses work best with the young sire, and what sets him apart in a talented class vying to be the last great son of Unbridled's Song at stud.

In Ask Your Veterinarian, Dr. Brad Tanner of Rood and Riddle Equine Hospital tackles the subject of “parrot mouth” in horses, and the ways to correct and manage it.

Nevills takes a walk around the barns to ask industry members about their favorite races they've seen in person in the latest edition of INQUIRY, and then he speaks to bloodstock agent Chad Schumer about how getting stuck with future Breeders' Cup runner Worldly taught him that everything happens for a reason in Lesson Horses. We then dive through the catalog to see who is on offer from the rookie class at the Midlantic sale in First-Crop Sire Watch.

As a small token of our gratitude, we'll be offering one PR Special reader a free Paulick Report baseball cap. Information to sign up for the drawing can be found in the issue.

Thanks to our sponsors for making this issue of the PR Special possible:
